Stock exhaust. Still in my car, but I think I'll give it a good cleaning tonight. It goes back on the bike as long as it's solid and cleans up nice.

Both speedo and tach has been opened up for cleaning/fixing by an amateur, and now the halves slip apart while riding. I don't think I can fix that myself. Is Z1-Resto still in business?


Yes, he is still in business..although, like everything else, his prices have gone up :)

The stock exhaust is a remarkable bonus! We no longer see those that often.

I'm not sure if this is stock equipment. Pretty sure the US version never had this, but there are quite a few differences between the US and EU models. Like the integrated turn signal stems on the taillight bracket which many (if not most) old Z's came with over here. Here's a better picture of the shifter and the little sidestand "damper".

Careful, I might just take you up on that :P

I brought out the Autosol, and spent half an hour cleaning to see what's below the oil, dirt, and grime. It's a bit scratched up, but won't look too bad when I'm finished. That should be somethime in 2017 judging by the progress I've made so far :lol:

Halfway on the right side muffler. In better shape than the left one it seems. I might be a bit picky, but the pictures actually look better than it does in person...

I bought a FSM on ebay. It has a supplement for the mkII in the back. Not much different from the regular 1000's. It has the pic of the mkII on the cover.
